The neutron energy was generated from the D＋T neutron source at the China Institute of Atomic Energy （CIAE）. The neutron flux was monitored by measuring the activity of 92mNb produced in the competing reaction channel of 93Nb（n, 2n）92mNb. At the neutron energy of 14.6 MeV, the 93Nb（n, 2n）92gNb reaction cross-section of （736±220） mb was obtained for the first time.展开更多
